I'm helping to develop a site that displays high resolution images efficiently by using image tiles (similar to the way that google maps works.) e.g.

http://www.nextlook.com/public/142/3/photo.shtml?idx=3&of=7

Every modern browser that I've tried is ok except firefox. When firefox it's waiting for an image tile to load it displays a placeholder. This is especially annoying on my site because sometimes (depending on the window size and image size) after I've loaded the initial set of image tiles, I want to invisibly overlay another higher resolution set of tiles.

I noticed that there used to be a "SUPPRESS" image attribute in html but it was deprecated and eventually dropped.

Can I suppress the placeholders with CSS ? Or some other way ? (I obviously can't change the user's browser setting.)

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.

The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
You need to register at the MozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.
